BasedLOD Installation
This post walks you through how to install the system into your game.
- Install the plugin
- You’ll find the plugin in the plugins tabs (no really?):
- I recommend docking the plugin here (excuse the subpar UI
)
)
- Click ‘clone system into replicated storage’
- Select the BasedLOD folder, then click ‘Set BasedLOD folder to studio selection’
- The system is now loaded into the plugin! Now, to use your models with the system, you have to use Roblox’s tag editor (or the other popular one works aswell, if you know which one I’m talking about)
- Click ‘Fill TagList’ which will fill your tag editor with all tags for preset LOD variations, and for model characteristics
- The plugin and tags are now set up! Now, for just starting out (or, if you lack scripting knowledge, the script does just fine), here’s a template script for running the system:

Insert the script into StarterPlayer → StarterPlayerScripts
The script assumes the BasedLOD folder is in ReplicatedStorage, so make sure you leave it there, or otherwise edit the variable that requires it through the script.
- That’s it for installation! Now onto the usage: BasedLOD - Usage
